Give your idea/opini for the following point :

1.        What is media in teaching? How many teaching media types do you know. Explain

Answer :

I think Teaching media can be said to be a teaching aid which is a place to inform the material presented. Teaching media are anything that can be used to stimulate students' thoughts, feelings, attention and abilities or skills so that they can encourage the learning process. There are 4 learning media that I know, namely :

·           Video :

Video is a media that displays images and audio at the same time. This media is a media that can be heard as well as seen. For example animated videos and educational videos.

·           Audio :

Audio media is sound-based media. For example radio and voice recordings.

·           Multimedia

Multimedia is a learning media equipped with a controller that can be operated by the user so that the tool can respond and there is a reciprocal relationship between the tool and the user. For example quiz applications and games based on education.

·           Visual

Visual Media is a teaching media that only uses students' visual senses to convey learning messages. For example books, newspapers, magazines, and so on.

 

2.        Why teacher needs media in teaching?

Answer : In my opinion, teachers needs media in teaching because based on the development of educational technology they are also required to take advantage of these technological advances. In addition, teaching media also play an active role in increasing student interest in learning, teachers have many ways and ideas to convey learning material, and learning materials are more easily accepted by students because of teaching media. Based on my experience a student also needs teaching media when the material being taught I cannot understand it.

3.        What are the criteria of good teaching media

Answer : in my point of view, good teaching media must have several things, including:

·           Teaching media must improve student learning outcomes. not only as a means of delivering material, but good teaching media must also be able to improve student learning outcomes.

·           Teaching media must be easy to use and have a short but easy to understand explanation of the material.

·           Teaching media must be interesting and unique that can make students interested in using and studying the material presented and providing learning experiences that can be used as examples in everyday life.

4.        Do you think that the teaching media needs to be developed? Why?

Answer : of course. Teaching media must be developed. Because if not, students' abilities and knowledge will also not develop. With the development of teaching media, this can trigger students to develop too. However, when the teaching media does not develop and students follow technological advances outside of school, students will feel smarter than the teacher. In fact, it can be a reason for students not to be interested in education.

1.        In understanding foreign cultures, someone needs to understand well the cultures to avoid cultural conflicts. But, many people are failed to understand the values and customs of foreign cultures. According to your own idea, please explain what do you need to have to understand foreign cultures in order to avoid cultural conflicts.

Answer     : In my point of view, from my experiences and my environment, in order to avoid misunderstanding between cultures we need to instill several principles in our lives: first and foremost is to cultivate a mutual respect for foreign cultures, secondly we have to get rid of the thought that our culture is the most correct culture, in another sense regardless foreign culture as something bad, and finally after we can respect and not look down on foreign culture, start learning to understand foreign culture. not only as a form of our tolerance for foreign cultures, understanding foreign cultures will also add to our knowledge and experience in socializing.

2.        How do you define your local cultural is different from foreign culture? Do you think local and foreign cultures need to be integrated? Please provide your reasons

Answer     : Culture is a way of life that is developed and owned by a group of people and is passed down from generation to generation. Culture is made up of many complex elements, including religious and political systems, customs, language, tools, clothing, buildings and works of art. From this understanding, of course my culture is different from the culture of other people who do not have in common the elements that make up the culture that I mentioned earlier. especially with foreign cultures. the culture where I live is still closely related to high moral values. for example, in my culture, it is not justified to appear immodest and engage in promiscuity. Those two things are something that is still held high in my culture.

Do I think local and foreign cultures need to be integrated?

Of course. Because there is no bad culture, it all depends on how we place it and choose what we think is good to imitate and which we think is not good to imitate. Therefore, local culture and foreign culture need to be integrated. when we find a foreign culture that is good to emulate and do so without losing our original culture, that is the importance of integrating the culture. Because culture will continue to develop in accordance with the times. All of that depends on how our policy chooses what suits our views and what is not. For example, when we can see positive sites from foreign cultures like other languages, we can try to learn another language, right? But if we want to learn their language, for example English, don't forget your initial language.

3.        What is stereotype and prejudice? Does it exist in your local culture? Give example?

Answer : Prejudice is most commonly used to refer to a preconceived judgment toward a people or a person because of race, social class, gender, age, disability, political beliefs, and sexual orientation. While stereotype is commonly held popular belief about specific social groups or types of individuals. Stereotypes are standardized and simplified conceptions of groups based on some prior assumptions. From this understanding, we know that the stereotype is more positive than prejudice. Media, religion, environment, customs and culture influence our perceptions of how we see other people. And often "prejudice" becomes a trap so that we don't give ourselves the opportunity to get to know other people. In fact, prejudice often becomes the beginning of hostility and conflict. Cannot be denied, both of those things are in my culture. For stereotype  example, some people in my environment think that life should have principles like Chinese people, namely hard workers. another example is the view that "the key to working with a Chinese people is honest". Whereas for prejudice example, some people in my neighborhood think that a person who covers his entire body is called a terrorist. however, several others have been able to change that view.
